I agree!!! The machismo, the braggadocio attitudes, the three point stances, the dope DJ'ing by Double K and that whole vibe. One of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Speaking of "biter"...we bit the shit out of this classic back in the day...We went on to win some big breaking battles in the Richmond /DC area in the 80's...We loved RSC so much, we named our crew the Steady Rockers and that included a girl...Our crew was mixed...3 whites, 3 Filipinos, and I Puerto Rican...We krushed!
Watched that movie more than 100x it was my dream to see it one time in live im usa 😢 i grow up with this movie and my kids today look it with me 😎 - love that movie it was my inspiration to dj - peace to all brothers and sisters from germany
I took hip hop classes from 8-13. We had one of those tiny CRT TV's and one of the three movies we had was Beat Street. Any free time I had before class I'd pop the DVD in and I never got tired of it, no matter how many times I watched it. I just bought a new copy a couple weeks ago and there was so much I missed. I didn't even know Kool Herc and Afrika Baambaata were in it and I was blown away when I saw them. This ain't just a movie, it's an experience and above all else it's a piece of history, straight up! Timeless classic
The BeatStreet logo with that pink and yellow gradient. I worked so hard to duplicate that on paper back then, never had the time to do a proper throwup of that although I remember doing oldskool stuff like skyline motifs with yellow windows and the ghettoblaster etc. This here movie molded my youth and I'll never forget it.
ABSOLUTELY!! Its the only movie that has ALL of the tenants of hip hop culture...and a story line about each 1. Break Dancing (B-boying) 2. Beat Boxing (Doug E. Fresh at X-mas party) 3. Graffiti (Ramo) 4. MCing (Bam, Kool Moe Dee) 5. DJing (Kool Herc, Special K) The best representation of the culture...and was released in 1984!!
Abel- Not-Able that's because New York birthed this thing we love and grew up called Hip Hop which was birthed in and Boogie Down Bronx spread to Crooklyn Shalion Money making Manhattan The Q Boro Strong Island and upstate NY hoods. And I love that West coast culture as well and I grew up during the golden era of Hip Hop in Strong Island NY the home of Rakim EPMD Public Enemy Dela Soul Biz Marlie but some of my all time favorite artists are from the west coast like Ice Cube Snoop Dogg King T Mc Eight and DJ Quick. But nothing was like this Hip Culture that NY birthed when it came to all the elements of Rapping Djing Break Dancing Graffiti and the Hip Hop fashion which NY birthed and it was immulated all over the country and world. I remember being a young B Boy myself fun Long Island going to 42 street in Times Square to see Beat Street with my friends. We were mesmerized by this scene and other classic scenes from the movie because at the time this movie came out even in the ghetto suburbs of Long Island were knee deep in this thing called Hip Hop which we grew up on. I will never forgot the house parties the block parties and the park jams where we vibed to all the Hip Hop classics and I will never forget the battles and shows I was in being a B Boy myself. Rest in Peace to Buck 4 and Kuruki and all the brothers and sisters frm my old hood New Cassel Westbuury Long Island that went back to the essence. This scene to this day sends chills through my body even at the age of 51. Ain't nothing like NY Hip Hop in its purest form. Big up to the 5 Boros Strong Island and all of upstate NY especially Albany Buffalo and Rochester. Nobody was as fly and fresh as NY B Boys and B Girls and that's facts. I would say only Cali cats got that unique style of there own like NY had and always will.
East coast was mostly about breakin and west coast was mostly about poppin and lockin. The movie Breakin’ was originally supposed to be called Poppin’.
just so every one knows the song @28 was suppose to be released in Beat Street Vol.3 but they never released it yeah i was pretty down when i heard that just to let you guys know =(
Final Credits say "DJ Mixes, courtesy of Streetwise Records" and according to Freddy Fresh, Streetwise records was Arthour Baker's label. I believe what we hear now is in that mix. But the list Freddy reveals in his book does not contain such a recording...
+Goosifer it's some Zulu chants from the Renegades of Funk by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force. It can be found in the maxi single of the song
+zinakan it seems to be a track Rock Steady Crew had in their luggage while touring promoting Beat Street. It remains unidentified but I believe I am close to find it
Okay...For those of you who have no idea what just went down in that scene: That was my main man, "Powerful Pexter" of rhe NYC Breakers versus Kiriaki from the Rock Steady Crew. (Kiriaki would go on to be brutally tortured by the Colombian cartell for overstepping on their drug turf in the Bronx).
I have to say this: This scene is ominous because Kiriaki died the way he lived; he was always defiant and he was always starting beef, until he started with the Colombian cartel. That got him killed.
smh... ITS REALLY SAD THAT U CAN PUT SHIT OUT THR JUST LIKE THAT WITHOUT KNOWING THE FACTS...THE BOTTOM LINE HOW IT CAME TOO HIS MURDER..BUT HATERS AND PORQUERIA R GONNA RUN THR MOUTH..LMAO AND STILL IN 2021!!! #THEGODFATHEROFBBOYSKURIAKI
That dude was hot! Who was that guy? The one saying, "Yo, man, ... ya'll biters! All ya homeboys are biters! Ya'll wack, so what's up wit' dat?" I wonder what he looks like now.
DigitalPraise7 thats how it was in the early 80s...also,its snowing at christmas time in new york...30yrs from now,your kids will be sayin the same shit bout what todays hip hop fashion is all about...tight jeans & all....lol
The B-boy look with the ski gloves, phat laces and the cap impressed me in -84. It still does.
IT STILL DOES... Once Fresh!... ALL WAYS FRESH!... Them Boys is MEAN... THE FRESHEST KIDS!
I always say fashion in the mid 80s was horrible EXCEPT for the bboys and bgirls.
That's a painter cap!!
agree. they look cool as fuck.
"This ain't New York, this the Bronx."
That right 👍😎
I can never get tired of this scene lol
I agree!!! The machismo, the braggadocio attitudes, the three point stances, the dope DJ'ing by Double K and that whole vibe. One of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Me too
NEVER!
I like da Roxy battle scene!!
Kuriaki is so beast in that scene

RIP to Kuriaki 😥
I once got stopped by the police, when they asked where I lived, I told them Beat Street.
Didn't do me any favours, but it gave us a laugh.
Kuriyaki RIP
Met his son tonight. Very nice young man.
what about BUCK 4 ???
@@bryantmungo3123 dead too
Rip Kuriaki...
NY Mogul It’s insane how much both of Kuriaki’s sons look like him.
Respect to Kuriaki, he had the best bottom rock moves, as seen in this opening scene.
If that's all I had to worry about was getting to the Roxy to battle,life would have been easy
BEAT STREET* ...STILL A FAVORITE 2023.....🫶🏾
RIP Kuriaki RSC
kuriaki, buck4, ken swift...some heavy hitters..
